An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Chapter 2468

The enforcement team worked with remarkable efficiency. Within an hour, Huxley, Warrick, and Percival had been brought back to the castle.

Per Austin’s instructions, Axel made sure the three met briefly upon arrival, though they were given no opportunity to speak to one another. Afterward, they were taken to separate rooms and were guarded individually.

Due to their status, the enforcement team treated them with respect, offering them tea and wine. However, they weren’t allowed to leave their rooms and had to wait for Austin to summon them.

Warrick was confined to Room A1, Huxley to Room A2, and Percival to Room A3.

Their rooms were right next to each other, separated only by thin walls. If they stepped out, they would see one another, but none of them knew how close they were.

This, of course, was all part of Austin’s plan. He knew that extracting the truth from these three cunning foxes would require unconventional tactics.

Inside Room A1, Warrick sat calmly, sipping his tea without a hint of concern.

He had anticipated being questioned by Austin and had prepared for it in advance.

As long as Austin had no evidence, Warrick saw no reason to worry. To him, the questioning was nothing more than a formality.

Next door in Room A2, Huxley appeared just as composed, acting as though none of this concerned him.

The assassin had been sent out of West Lucozia, and Jovian’s body had been incinerated. Even if the enforcement team turned West Lucozia upside down, they wouldn’t find a single clue.

Besides, he and Warrick had already coordinated their plan. As long as they both remained silent and claimed ignorance, this whole situation would blow over.

Even with his noble status, Austin couldn’t take action against them without solid evidence. Doing so would be reckless-inviting a potential backlash from the government and stirring unrest among the people.
